87. Carol, Sweetly Carol

1 Carol, sweetly carol,
A Saviour born today;
Bear the joyful tidings,
Oh, hear them far away;
Carol, sweetly carol,
Till earth's remotest bound,
Shall hear the mighty chorus,
And echo back the sound.

Chorus:
Carol, sweetly carol,
Carol, sweetly today;
Bear the joyful tidings,
Oh, bear them far away.

2 Carol, sweetly carol,
As when the Angel throng
O'er the vales of Judah,
Awoke the heavenly song:
Carol, sweetly carol,
Good will, and peace, and love,
Glory in the highest
To God who reigns above. [Chorus]

3 Carol, sweetly carol,
The happy Christmas times;
Hark! the bells are pealing
Their merry, merry chime;
Carol, sweetly carol,
Ye shining ones above,
ing in loudest numbers,
Oh, sing redeeming love. [Chorus]
